Homes for Sale In SouthPark Charlotte, NC

The land SouthPark sits on was once part of a 3,000+ acre farm owned by then N.C. Governor Cameron Morrison. Today, his land has been transformed into one of NC most successful live/work/play communities.

Gov. Morrison’s farm originally stretched from the Cotswold area to Quail Hollow. His home, The Historic Morrocroft Mansion, built in the 1920’s, still remains in SouthPark today on it’s original site. The 14,000 sq ft mansion is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and was owned by the Morrison/Harris family until 1981. Today, the home remains as an amazing restored private residence.

Living in SouthPark allows you access to some of the South’s best shopping, dinging and entertainment. The neighborhood’s core is built around SouthPark Mall and development is densest near this popular mall.

Housing styles range from 1950’s ranch homes to multi-million dollar estates, some tucked in very closely to the commercial district. Neighborhoods in this area continually rank as some of the best and most attractive areas in the South. Quail Hollow, Carmel Park, Foxcroft, and gated communities of Morrocroft and Seven Eagles neighborhoods are simply stunning examples of Southern charm.

The Harris YMCA, located at Sharon and Quail Hollow Rd, is also a legacy of the Morrison/Harris family.  Additionally, SouthPark is known as the second-largest business district in the state (developed primarily by the Harris family as well as the Bissell family), employing over 40,000 workers.  Southpark features stunning examples of suburban high rise buildings built around a unique live/work concept that is spreading throughout the area.
